Aerospace or if your static pressure is not good aerospace no baro.

Yes. You should set it to 230k4 in order to work instantly with paparazzi. Please also do a magnetic calibration while Xsens is in your airframe turning only the plane and not the plane and laptop.

Output mode is always auto configured in current driver and set to Euler. You need to change the paparazzi driver if you need something else.

In paparazzi we try to configure things like messages and output mode and baudrate automatically (xbee/ublox/xsens) so communication always works but leave filter settings as-is by default.

Calibration is in XSens and given printed just as a reference. Paparazzi will pull calibrated processed data out of the XSens. No need to specify any calibration.

Regulator of the umarin? I did not check this but it does not sound ideal. The XSens uses about 300 mA? At 5v to max ?? (17v?). Are you sure this regulator likes the additional 1.5 watt?
We always connected our Xsens directly to a 3 cell lipo battery.
